Ulthuan

The game went very well: I lost 1 mage and the silverhelms, but wiped out the enemy force and all remaining units over 50% starting strength. Won't do a full BR but some highlights and thoughts:... Changes I actually think I am going to drop a wizard. With totally maxed out characters, I felt the l...

I also want to propose, that this is the kind of list where I think the Merwyrm might actually be relevant. Having a tough blocker that can hold a flank while your Cav engage where they want to might be worth considering. In smaller games, where opponents have fewer tools to deal with it, it can al...

I like the newer list better. I also want to propose, that this is the kind of list where I think the Merwyrm might actually be relevant. Having a tough blocker that can hold a flank while your Cav engage where they want to might be worth considering. In smaller games, where opponents have fewer too...

A level 3 would be too much points if as per the Secure the Watch tower scenario. Where is this scenario written down? It can be found here: https://assets.warhammer-community.com/eng_tow_seize_the_tower_anniversary_scenario_feb25-wzoisw1jzg-kp9mlw8kwu.pdf Just played my second ever tournament. A 5...

Just noticed that across in US there was a 2-day event (https://www.bestcoastpairings.com/event/toouVqp5QtuN) where all of the Top 5 (!) were High Elves! :lol: In fact, there was only one other High Elf player at the event and he finished closer to the middle of the pack. Pretty strong Ulthuan domi...

Looks like a pretty good list! Some thoughts to consider; - Agree about Lore Familiar on Elementalism: it's the one Lore I really feel compelled to take it on with a Level 4; - Drop 2 Phoenix Guard and upgrade the Eagle Claw to a second Skycutter, if you can (or fiddle points elsewhere); - Loremaste...

I know you play a very different type of game / type of opponents, so I'll refrain from providing any normal advice like dropping the Spearmen, etc. The list looks fine, but not what I would call optimized, especially the Chieftain and the Noble BSB: this seems like 300 points you can work better wi...

I'm glad to see more data analysis on the forum -- love it! Some feedback: - The second table you shared is hard to read: the second and third column/sections appear to both indicate wounds inflicted, but is one of these suppose to be wounds suffered (in return)? I'm not understanding clearly what I...

I spoke to Charlie briefly about how he got on with the Trickster’s Shard. He said it was invaluable, especially in one matchup where it shut down a whole magic phase for a Necromancer and meant the VC player was neutered for a turn. Seems like it could be really decent. It's very similar to what I...

First note: I am sad Cathay gets two Lores, Beastmen get a Lore, High Elves…

Looks like a pretty solid list. I think the strongest version of this style is dropping all the Chariots and getting up to 30 Sisters, but definitely playable!

Pretty much, the any weapon of the spell i feel superceeds the magic weapon clause, as its doesnt mention any restrictions. What I am trying to sort out is does the weapons with single attacks clause of the SD FAQ, exclude using a ranged weapon for the SD. It don't think it does because, the weapon...

It is different but along the same vein in that ASF doesn't affect the casting, it could only affect the resolving of hits. But as the Int step 10 has gone past it has no affect. I wasn't specific when referring to a difference between WS hits and casting spells. But implied it, perhaps poorly by t...

Prince of Spires is right, there’s really no room for any other interpretation. Attacks with a Strikes First weapon happen at Initiative 10, then Spectral Doppelganger is cast at the Wizard’s initiative (modified by charge bonuses), and is resolved at that Initiative step. The only way one of our c...

Swordmasters (maybe) kept safe from shooting with up to -2 to hit (incense + glittering robe), column of crystal blocking LoS, deflect shots and banner of reslience. I'm looking at using this same thing to revive the Helm-star. It pretty well counters the poison meta, which is leading the pack in s...

This one describes exactly how to use SD with a weapon that gives SF/SL. There is no room for speculation or confusion in there. The other way to interpret is: - Spell is cast at the Wizard's initiative; - ASF makes the Wizard initiative 10; - Sword of Swiftness FAQ clarifies that you can't use ASF...

It's still a great question, for me I see them as two different interactions. But it gets shades of grey with the attacks are made at the modifications of the weapons profiles and special rules, does leave the room for misinterpretation or TO rulings that could be counter to mine or yours thoughts ...

I tend to see the spells programatically. Step 1: select appropriate spell for turn phase. (Assailment spells in CC) Step 2: roll to cast (Done at int order) I see it this way as well, the only question is, for Doppelgänger specifically, what is the initiative? For normal assailments, we are in com...

The FAQ is badly worded and needs a faq. I read it as: 1) the wizard casts at int no matter what - strikes from the spell happen here 2)"if the casting wizard wishes to use a asf weapon" *for their normal attacks* then those attacks happen at int 1 still The crucial word for the rules law...

Or at least that is how I read it. Spells are cast at Int order, and then in the case of SD modified by weapon abilities. The spell cast at Int order, hits resolved at weapon modified Int order, as Int 10 has passed in the order ASF has no affect, but as ASL is still an option if using thw whiteswo...

Strikes first would only affect the 2 Archmage attacks, the 2D6 SD attacks would hit at user Int order, when spells are cast per an early FAQ regarding the sword of swiftness. Don't know why it has strikes first other than to put it on a DP champ. That seems to be in conflict with the more recent F...

Looking at little more closely, I noticed Star Lance also gives Strikes First, which first of all is odd if it's meant to be on a Noble or Prince. However, this makes it a reasonable candidate for a mounted Illusion Archmage. 2D6+2 Str 6, AP-4 Attacks might be enough of a deterrent for Monsters, the...

I was looking through the Squarebased "renegades" pack that reworks (very lightly) the legacy books, and it got me thinking what changes would I want to make to the High Elf book, One thing to note: the pack specifically does not change any points. It might be an interesting exercise to f...

I'm assuming that the Detachments get to redeploy with it... much worse if not true. One stormweaver per Detachment, SGG commander with the SG. The rules for the redeploy are "Replace" not "Deploy" meaning RAW you wouldn't get to redeploy all three units when you pick a unit wit...

I finally came up with a SGG list i actually want to play and think will be interestingly different from a GA seaguard themed list. I like the approach, there's two things I would think more about: 1. Do you think the Sea Guard Commander is worth the extra 100ish points between his cost and increas...

Like the digital version you've come up with! Do you have a high-res or digital version of that Map? I might try to get my gaming group to do something similar! Thanks, it certainly is a lot of fun! You can find the old original map file on the Web archive: https://web.archive.org/web/2007122405575...

Be warned, rambling ahead. Alright, tournament is over and I placed average, which is honestly a lot higher than I expected. Obviously lost a ton of points (ca. 20% of all points every game) as every scenario required scoring units (core, not skirmishing or marching column, 10+ unit strength with b...
